Biomedical ontologies and controlled terminologies provide structured domain knowledge to a variety of health information systems. The rich biomedical knowledge and information encoded in ontologies have been widely used in various learning tasks such as natural language processing (NLP), data mining, machine learning, semantic annotation, and automated reasoning. On the other hand, methods in NLP and machine learning have also advanced the curation of biomedical ontologies from mainly manual construction to (semi-)automated construction at scale.
Moreover, the increasing amount of health-related data poses unprecedented opportunities for mining previously unknown knowledge with semantics-powered data mining and analytical methods. However, due to the heterogeneity of different data sources ranging from electronic health records (EHRs) to environmental exposures, from social determinants of health to social media, it is challenging to exploit and integrate multiple sources to solve real-world problems. Biomedical ontologies and semantics-powered analytical methods are promising solutions.
